INTRODUCTION.
Although photography has not been around for a long time, it has already become an integral 
part of our life. Photography has entered every area of our life. Among them, he makes a significant 
contribution to journalism. 
Photojournalism is the representation of important moments in people's lives, as well as 
dynamic and static phenomena, objects and events of reality by analog and digital photography and 
subsequent publication in print and electronic media [1]. 
Photography in Uzbekistan began to develop at the beginning of the last century, today it 
has started to develop rapidly under the influence of modern technologies. Photojournalism, which 
began to develop on the basis of photography, began to appear in the local press. Currently, it is 
difficult to imagine newspapers without photographs. Photographs have also become the main task 
in the design and illustration enrichment of the newspaper. 
Currently, photos published in addition to articles serve as facts. No matter how much the 
text describing the event is, a single photo will help us better visualize the event. Also, photos today 
also serve as a recreational activity, that is, photos taken from some natural phenomenon allow 
people to have a good rest, to take a visual trip to that nature. If we presume based on these 
characteristics of photographs, their influence on people has increased even more. 
Photos have a deeper impact on people than text. The reason is that 85 percent of people 
have the ability to remember information visually, and 15 percent of people have the ability to 
remember text. 
The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev congratulated the press 
and mass media workers: ”We fully support the fact that the spirit of transparency, analysis and 
impartial criticism has increased in our newspapers, TV and radio channels, and the number of 
materials prepared directly from foreign countries is increasing. It is necessary to raise the mass 
media to the level of the ”fourth power” not in words, but in practice. This is the need of the times, 
the need for our reforms”, he said, giving a high assessment of journalists and their activities [2]. 
In order for journalism to reach the fourth level of power, it is of course very important for 
journalists to deliver information accurately and objectively, and to justify the trust of the audience. 
In order to achieve such trust, among all types of mass media, photojournalism takes an important 
place.
In today's era of globalization, instead of reading large volumes of text, audiences want to 
read it in new ways and in new formats. If events or situations with many meanings are reflected 
with a single photo, its impact will be greater than the text. Photography as a visualization tool has 
already become an integral part of life.
Currently, many changes are taking place in the field of 
photography in terms of its instruments and genres. The American writer Susan Sontag expresses 
this idea in the work “Plato's cave” included in her collection of essays “On photographs” [3].
